“It’s always a risk going away and not knowing what it’s going to be like coming back. “We knew we were going to come back with a new record. And there was never a doubt in the minds of the band’s members that Incubus would continue. They never felt that they were risking their career by stepping away at the height of their popularity, he says. “After that, we sort of felt like we’d inundated the world, and it was time to go away. “We had been touring behind Light Grenades for probably a good year,” says Pasillas. Ironically, the band was wondering the same thing about everybody else. The band-made up of founders Brandon Boyd (guitar/vocals), Mike Einziger (guitar) and Jose Pasillas (drums), along with bassist Ben Kenney and Chris Kilmore on keyboards-went on hiatus in 2008, and speculation ran rampant about whether they were burnt out on Incubus. But that’s exactly what SoCal hitmakers Incubus did, right about the time their “Love Hurts” single was sitting on top of the alt-rock charts (following a string of hits that began with 2001’s “Drive”). It’s not too often that a band with a string of number-one singles stops to reconsider what they’re doing. HOW SOON IS NOW: Incubus brings the revamped sound of their new album ‘If Not Now, When?’ to Shoreline Sunday.
